My question… what did they base it on?

You know who isn't the loser in this situation......Bryce Underwood. Yeah he sucks, and yeah he got benched. But he got PAID. He'll transfer and get PAID again and again. Because all the suitors will be in save-a-hoe mode and will claim they can fix him. And truthfully, someone might, but there is a lot of doubt in Underwoods confidence now, so he might be damaged goods.

His measurables were elite
His high school accomplishments were stellar:
quote:

Five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood starred at Belleville High School in Michigan from 2021 to 2024, leading the Tigers to two MHSAA Division 1 state titles (2021 and 2022), a 50–4 overall record, and amassing over 11,400 passing yards and more than 150 total touchdowns.

And I believe he played on one of the nations top 7 on 7 teams and was roundly called the best player at all these tournaments.

It’s not like Arch where the Mannings hid him at 1A Newman and he never camped, he was out and about and identified very early on as a top, if not he top, prospect.

The TAF should get Portnoy's home address and start a letter writing campaign where every LSU fan sends a hand written letter to Portnoy thanking him for saving LSU the grief and money it would have cost to sign one of the biggest bust in recruiting history. Every day for the next few weeks he would go home to thousands and thousands of letters thanking him for being a douchebag.


All those playoff appearances without Bryce Underwood would be lost, right? Right?

Imagine a world where BK gets underwood, gets a pass for last season due to a true freshmen qb that people assume will get better, then we’re stuck with BK, underwood, and a brutal schedule.


Now you're stuck with Kiffin.

This team is exponentially better than what Kelly rolled out the last 2 years by a long shot.

In an expedited off season Kiffin has already made this team look significantly better coached. So yeah, I’d rather get “stuck” with the overpriced HC that’s still driven and proven to be highly competent as opposed to the bust of a player.

Who knows how he develops under different coaching


doubt the kelly/sloan duo would have been substantially better for him

also the fact that he's been horrible under 2 different offensive staffs probably doesn't bode well for him.
